What Tazio Ferri doesn't like about 318 Restaurant:
The food here is amazing- and it’s in excelsior so it’s an awesome place to eat and walk around afterwords. My mom and I came here for some breakfast and it was OK due to service. The woman who was serving us was short and not very kind to my mother. Would come here again for the food but service was not amazing. View all feedback. What CindyA likes about 318 Restaurant:
Great service, great food and great music. Only complaint was people standing by our table to listen to music. We had to complain before waitress asked them to find a place to sit. View all feedback.

Located in Excelsior, this restaurant offers amazing food and a great ambiance for a post-meal stroll. While some patrons had mixed experiences with the service, mentioning a standoffish server and slow service, others praised the friendly and efficient staff. The live music was a highlight for many, with some guests raving about the excellent performances. The menu received mixed reviews, with some finding the food generic while others loved the flavors and unique drink options, such as the butterfly pea flower lemonade. Overall, the majority of diners enjoyed their experience, with highlights including the quiche, date night pizza, and flatbread with fig. Whether you're looking for a casual meal with friends or a family-friendly dinner spot, this restaurant in Excelsior seems to have something for everyone.
